Regatta Kids’ Pack It Packaway Jacket - Purple - 3-4 Years

This specific listing is for the Regatta Kids’ Pack It Jacket in size 3-4 Years, suitable for young children within that age range.

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

The jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. It is lightweight and can be layered over a warmer jumper or fleece for added warmth in colder temperatures.

'Packaway' means the jacket can be folded and stored neatly into its own small stuff sack, making it very convenient to carry when not in use.

The jacket features Isolite 15000 fabric and taped seams, offering good waterproofing for moderate rain. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, additional protection might be needed.

To maintain the water repellency, it's recommended to re-proof the fabric periodically using a suitable waterproofing agent, especially after washing.

The jacket is made from lightweight Nylon fabric with advanced Isolite 15000 technology.

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still effective. Re-apply a fabric-specific waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.

While the jacket is breathable, excessive exertion can still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure the child is not overdressed underneath and that ventilation (if any) is open. Check that the fabric hasn't been compromised by harsh detergents.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it catches on fabric, carefully free it. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Ensure the fabric guard behind the zipper is properly aligned.

This jacket is designed for reliable waterproofing in moderate conditions. For extended periods in very heavy rain, some moisture may eventually penetrate. Consider a jacket with a higher hydrostatic head rating or more robust stormproofing for extreme weather.
